The Ascoli squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Sampdoria, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 38% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Sampdoria who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 14 games at Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca.  

There will be mixed feelings from I Bianconeri, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.

With Palermo sitting a clear 15 places above them in the table, Lecco won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Palermo had 7 shots on goal with 4 on target.  

Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Alfredo Aglietti where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their 15 games on the road.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.  

Andrija Novakovich will be hoping to create problems for Ascoli in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Lecco.
